Tachycardia in adults is defined as heart rate greater than what?

60-80 bpm

80-100 bpm

greater than 100 bpm

Tachycardia means an abnormally fast resting heart rate. In adults, a normal resting heart rate is about 60 to 100 beats per minute. When the heart rate is greater than 100 beats per minute at rest, it is considered tachycardia. The ranges 60–80 or 80–100 fall within normal resting limits, and a rate below 60 is bradycardia. So the defining threshold is a heart rate exceeding 100 beats per minute.

less than 60 bpm
